NATSKA Round 8 – Bayford Meadows
Class 11 – 27th June 2021
Harry takes the chequered flag, finishing 8th overall at Bayford Meadows, Sittingbourne, for Round 8 on Sunday, 27th June.
The day was a mix of highs and lows, with Harry showing strong pace in the first two heats, finishing 3rd in Heat 1 and taking the win in Heat 2.
Heat 3 – DNF (Engine Failure)
Everything was going well until two laps from the end, when Harry was running in 2nd place and suffered engine failure. The kart suddenly cut out, forcing him to retire with a DNF.
Heat 4 – DNF (Precautionary Retirement)
Back at the awning, we managed to restart the kart, allowing him to return to the grid for Heat 4. Once again, he was running well in 3rd place, but on Lap 4, he suspected another issue and decided to pull into parc fermé to prevent any potential engine damage—resulting in another DNF.
Could he have carried on? Maybe. But Harry made the tough decision to retire from the heat, prioritizing the National Championships in two weeks’ time over chasing a podium today.
A Strong Performance Despite Setbacks
Despite the challenges, it was a great day’s racing, with Harry setting new personal best lap times on only his second visit to Bayford Meadows.
Acknowledgments & Looking Ahead
A huge well done to the rest of the Barnwell team on their victories! Big thanks to Tony, Rob, and Sam for getting Harry to the grid while I was on marshal duty.
Now, all eyes are on the three-day National Championships at Fulbeck on the 9th—bring it on!
